If you don't like melodrama then don't bother with this show. But once you've accepted that misunderstanding and lack of communication alone are sufficient causes for serious heartbreak between people who genuinely love each other, then you will enjoy this show enormously. The actors are fantastic and their relationship so moving and realistic that it is a tearjerker in the good sense. What I appreciate is that no character is perfect and everyone has done something they regret. Even the most optimistic and likable person cannot escape the tragedy that befalls this family but together can they pull through?
